Dear Bill ~
I know that you are able to see from Heaven but I wanted to thank you for your son Craig. You have raised a mighty warrior, a man of valor. A man I am proud to call my friend.
Bill; you will be missed and my sympathy and prayers are with your family.

One of my greatest memories about your Dad was his sense of humor. No matter what was happening with him he always had time for a joke and to make someone smile. It was a blessing to him and to share in his humor. We will all miss you Bill, but we will all meet again in Heaven! God bless the family!
Love,
The Snyder Family, Thika, Kenya

Dear Jan, Craig & Deb:

There are SO many memories...one of my favorite's though was when us kids were playing wiffle ball in your back yard & Mom (Carol) & Bill got at each other joking about something & your Dad took off after Mom (Carol)with the Fat Albert bat, chased her around your house. Then Mom ducked under the deck & your Dad just missed the beam of the deck! LOL - we had lots of good times - you kids were so little I don't know how much you remember.

We will miss you, Bill...

I grew up with Bill in Milesburg. We went through elementary school in Milesburg, one year at Bellefonte HS and then three years at BEA HS. We both graduated in the 1959 class at BEA. Bill was a close and dear friend through those years but after graduation, he went in the Army and I attended Penn State and then served in the Air Force. Unfortunately we never had a chance to continue our friendship but I have thought of him often and hoped to see him again. I know his family has lost a loving husband, father and grandfather and we have all lost a very good man.

To the Carver family,
I always remember Bill coming to school events when we were young..he was always all smiles, supportive and kind to all of us, not just Debbie and Craig. He was a special man and you were so blessed to have him. May his memory find you at peace now that his suffering is over. God Bless you all.
